I want to choose the right external hard drive which will be

  • Dual boot Win7 disk external eSata M4700 accurately

    Because virtualization does not support some devices of HW, I need, I want to dual boot win7 Pro/64 at a (removable) disk external connected to my accuracy M4700 eSATA port.

    eSata means better performance, but the start menu will be happy with a removable disk, i.e. wrong be connected permanently (obviously I does not start the operating system on the disk hard if it is not connected)?

    And legal, is it possible to use the OEM license of operating system provided with the system for that?

    As a question, are the BONES in a Win7 start menu linked to a physical drive on a specific Sata port? IOW, what happens if I move a HARD disk with a bootable partition / volume of the internal Bay (port 0) to an eSATA external enclosure connected to eSATA (port 5) port? The eSATA port is transparent to the Win7 boot loader? Volumes and drive letters remain unchanged and appear perfectly to the operating system on it?

    Hi Benoitm,

    Assuming the M4700 can boot from an external eSATA port, this should be possible. And it should be possible to install on a HARD drive, then put this drive in an external enclosure and start it. Your preferences and your drive letters must be maintained. You can check that your system can boot from a first external HARD disk.

    The Dell license covers only the version of the operating system that is provided with the system. In theory, the dualboot requires two licenses.

  • Backup impossible - Vista Ultimate, Dell XPS 420, WD 320 external (eSATA) drive - error 0 x 81000006 and 0 x 81000014

    Hello, I've had this problem for some time now, and it's very frustrating.  I can't save the disk correctly - there have been times that I've been able to do a full backup, but subsequent backups then failed, and other times, I can't yet do a full backup.

    I have a DELL XPS 420 PC, running Vista Ultimate.  I also have a 320 GB Western Digital external hard drive connected via eSATA.

    I had problems with backup from the beginning.  Previous suggestions have been to ensure that the drive is formatted in NTFS (it is) and to make sure that I am able to see the drive from the computer and access (I can).

    I got two different types of error messages:

    ================================
    Error message:

    The backup location cannot be found or is not valid. Check your backup settings and check your hardware configuration. (0 x 81000006)

    Backup time: 12-09-2009 01:05

    The backup location: My Book (z :))

    Error message:

    There is not enough space on your Windows drive to prepare for the backup of your files. At least 400 MB of free space is required to continue. (0 x 81000014)

    Backup time: 05/01/2010 18:38
    The backup location: My Book (z :))

    [Start over] [Settings] [Close]

    ==============================

    What could be the problem? What I might try?  Please let me know if I can provide any other information that might help.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE!

    Hey, Ronna,.

    Sorry I didn't saw this post earlier - I hope you were able to solve your problem.

    Here's what I figured out around miner (on mine - after hours and hours of research):

    The message 'no space' was more a message "no memory" for me - I understand that if I have a large number of open programs, that is causing the error.

    The other mistake, I was getting, it was simply that the external HD had stopped spinning - now, whenever it says backup failed because he could not find the hard drive I press the power button on the back of the drive (I have a MyBook Western Digital external hard drive 320), run it, and then it works fine.

    I hope this helps someone else.

  • AutoRun tries to start the disk external eSATA after KB971029 has been installed

    After that February 9, 2011 Windows updates have been installed, my external drive eSATA would show a light continuous activity started about 40% of the time.  Reboots would normally work okay.

    I found that update KB971029 posted a few days later, which appeared to address this problem.  I installed it, and startups were normal until this morning, when the activity light has appeared once more.

    If this problem has really been resolved?

    I've been watching closely since the latest Windows updates have been installed on my computer on March 9 and 10.  The problem with my eSATA disk has not appeared since then, and I could stop the system overnight, with a reboot every morning.

    I have to take it for granted that, somewhere in these updates, the problem has been corrected.

    Thank you for your patience.

  • Vista does not recognize the auto-disque external eSata hard.

    I just bought 1 external to external drive "Fantom". My Vista 32-bit Home, does not recognize automatically, I have to restart every time for Windows vista to recognize the drive. Y at - it a fix for this problem? I have a dual boot and Windows XP has no problem to access the drive after plugging in.

    My Seagate eSata drive not present all the time.  If you right-click on desktop and select manage... go to the Device Manager and click Scan for hardware changes.  This is why the drive appear every time.

  • I can install Windows 7 64-bit disk external eSATA SSD as my OS boot?

    I would like to install on in-house, but I also need to run RAID disks for my data for redundancy.  I want to we SSD for my OS drive for obvious reasons (speed).  But the TRIM command to clean up the SSD is not functional through RAID controllers.  I wonder if Windows 7 is set up and operate from an eSATA drive?  My BIOS doesn't let me choose eSATA as a boot drive, but I've seen messages that mention the operating system Windows do not allow you to install on external drives.  I understand also is the eSATA 3 Gb/s, but I wonder if there are differences in bandwidth external case?

    Or maybe the native command of Windows 7 ATA-TRIM works through RAID controllers?

    Otherwise, I could have all the discs for the IDE installation, and then use Windows software RAID controller, but I believe that would considerably slow down my data disks, which is far from ideal as.

    Any clarity on this would be appreciated.  I don't want to go down a path of $700 and a lot of time if the result is not good.

    Hi Jeff_Elucidate,

    You can install Windows 7 on external hard drive ESATA. Plugin from the player to your computer, go to the BIOS and make sure the ESATA drive is set as the default device to start. And during the installation of Windows 7 to install the necessary drivers and you must have your Windows 7 installed on drive ESATA.

  • How to limit external drives that research of bridge?

    I have the problem that I find myself working on bridge selected files that have been selected from my external hard drive.

    This can lead to catastrophic results, of course, when the user will overwrite the incorrect files, etc.

    I watched all the Bridge preferences, but I can't find anywhere to limit the search to all the original main hard drive.

    Of course, it is nice to have the backup on the external drive, (that I cloned with Carbon Copy Cloner)... but often I get to work on a photoshop file and realize I worked on a file that origin of the disk external and not the original HARD disk.

    It's driving me crazy!

    So... is there a way to limit external drives that will search in Bridge?

    Thank you!

    Jn

    So... is there a way to limit external drives that will search in Bridge?

    Yes, in the menu search (cmd + F or menu: Edit / Find) you have a window that Let's select you the source where search, if you choose your hard drive as a source to look into it will find only files there.

    The folder Panel can also be useful for your purpose, although I personally almost never need because the option find in Bridge, it might be when having bridge pointed toward a drive or a folder up right quick search field in the Bridge window could also do the trick for you.

    Of course, it is nice to have the backup on the external drive, (I cloned with Carbon Copy Cloner)...

    I would not use Carbon Copy Cloner to the back upward, but a dedicated backup application like synchronize Pro, simply copy all the content you want to use for the external HARD drive backup and customize sync as you like it (when to back up, archive older files etc. etc.). There are also many others (some are free) backup utilities.

  • External port eSATA Studio XPS 9100 does not

    Hi all

    I have a Dell Studio XPS 9100and external eSATA port does not work or it is not detected. I have a Seagate FreeAgent external drive and it can't detected, and it is NOT power up when I plug it into the eSATA port. The FreeAgent drive works fine as it is detected on my laptop Dell Studio XPS 1645eSATA port. The drive is detected on the 9100 when I use the USB cable to the drive (plugged into a USB port, of course).

    I tried to do some research online and some suggestions were to activate via the BIOS eSATA port, but the eSATA port is enabled in the BIOS. The wrong driver is installed on the device? I see the Intel ICH10 Family 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller-3 has 22 in the Device Manager. Is this the right driver to recognize the external eSATA port or is there something else wrong with the 9100?

    Does anyone think that the external eSATA port requires an external drive with its own power supply? The 9100 is a 2010 model year environment, but I think it should not require a player with an external power supply.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hi all

    I grabbed an eSATA disk that has its own power supply (AC adapter) and trendy source on eSATA back port and he recognized the car.

    It seems that the Dell Studio XPS 9100 has of an old eSATA port requiring a drive eSATA that she is clean in order to be energy source active on its external eSATA port. If you try to use a disk without its own power supply eSATA it won't work because the former eSATA ports enabling the way as the USB ports and the new USB ports hybrid eSATA . My laptop Dell Studio XPS 1645 a hybrid one of these ports so apparently it is why my Seagate FreeAgent working on it and NOT on the 9100 desktop. You can't plug a USB cable in the 9100 eSATA port certainly isn't a hybrid eSATA port.

    I guess I solved my own question.

  • eSATA vs usb external

    I have a Dimension 8400 that I use an external hard drive USB 2.0 external WD for backups. The computer sometimes 'loses' working paper that becomes a major nuisance. In addition, WD makes more noise (IE clicking) lately and I want to add a new one or replace it completely. Two questions: an external esata will be more reliable as the computer to acknowledge and not "lose"; is it true that I can use a PCI express esata with my 8400.

  • Question - the upgrade with 3 USB card and esata

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro Quad core 2.67 going to have maxed out RAM soon and are planning to get a couple of 2 TB seagates Macgurus. I'm a little embarrassed by my lack of knowledge, but I'll put my questions over there anyway. Last year, I bought a 120 GB ssd card Accelsior PCIe mercury OWC - not being aware of the s and outs of things, but I knew it wasn't a port multiplier with two external esata ports. so my question is this: since I have to live with this card can I connect the esata ports to discs in separate outdoor pens and then through disk utility make a raid 0 set, and what size of disc must be effective for the cost the least?  I intend to get a USB 3.0 also so that I can use this speed also.  My other plans must be a drive of fusion with the ssd 120 on the map of Accelsior with a disk of 1td existing in my drive for the system Bay and replace all small readers of seagate more big HARD drive and I'm wondering if the 2 TB is the largest capacity I can use internally. I am on a very limited budget so that's the reason why I'm thinking hdd and if there is someone with advice on a card USB 3 I would appreciate your comments - in fact, I would be happy to comment on everything I mentioned, I'm a little out of the loop on the evolution in recent years. It is possible to configure a raid with two disks of two PPI crd esata ports would there be an advantage with drives of 2 TB or 1 TB disks would work as well for raid 0. Do I intend to put in storage for Time Machine with the USB 3 map, and what size disc would be appropriate for Time Machine? I'm not lazy and waiting for someone to find out - I did weeks of research to get to this point and I just need a little advice. I'm just going through what I know and what I can afford, but maybe I'm missing another solution to try to get a little more speed and back up storage for my photoshop files.

    I do only cc2015 Photoshop, Lightroom and On1software version 10.1 using OS X El Capitan and a cg 276 Eizo monitors more a second older Eizo. My usb ports 2 are all used and I rarely use a firewire port. Thanks in advance to all those who have advice. This is the first time that I have not posted anything on this forum

    Time machine is a USB 2 connection. No real reason for a USB 3 connection.

    There is no RAID in disk utility in El Capitan. Apple dropped the disc utility in El Capitan. However, you can still the Terminal commands to configure RAID.

    You should be able to create a set with eSata RAID

    USB 3.0 Mac Pro 2008 El Capitan

    Make sure that the card said it works with El Capitan. Some cards USB 3 is no longer with El Capitan as the CalDiget of first generation card.

    Internally the Mac can also use large HD depending on availability. However, there is a bug that first appeared in 10.8.4 and has not yet been set. To format a plu 2.2 to internal HD:

    -Use a disk utility of all Mac OS X older, including the 10.6 DVD (if your Mac can boot from it) or any of the installation DVD player or boost saved work.

    -Another solution is to move this drive in an external case and delete it there (assuming your case is modern enough to deal with readers more than 2.2 to.

    In addition,

    To sled mounting internal:

    The penetration of the screw depth for 'down-screw mount adjacent to the platters' on some readers from over 3 TB have been shortened. This may mean that the live sled down until they adjust and begin to compress the washers on the sled. If this is the case, your drive will not rest flat on the sled and do not breed with the connector backplane without additional adjustment.

    If your laptop computer has an eSATA port, you can connect external 2.5 SSD or HARD disk drive to this port using a common external caddy which was equipped with such eSATA interface.

    This 2.5 eSATA caddy is especially fitted with USB port extra too.
